Analysis
Many times, you must do an analysis on an object to get
into a puzzle. Always try different things at different
times if something doesn't work. Listen to everything.

Get in the ship
To get into the ship at the beginning of the game, use your laser to set
off the booby trap. You will explode the ship, and your own probe. At this
point, you must reload the game from a previoius save point, and try it
again. It may seem frustrating at first, but if you keep it up, you will
be able to repeat it many times with ease!
